Chapter 21. [ ]
---
-- "Wow! Honey, come out quickly and look at the live [ ] master! It's alive and can talk!"
-- "Not playing games today? ...No, [ ] master! In this era filled with terrible shows, only your game livestreams can heal my soul devastated by bad films!"
-- "Exactly, [ ] master! Why watch 'Phantom Blood'? Could an unheard-of work be more exciting than you flawlessly beating a boss or single-handedly taking down an entire top-tier guild?"
-- "Of course, if there were any work that dared to write such a plot, I would definitely curse it to death. But hey, this is reality!"
-- "[ ] master, forever the best!"

-- "…."
Hmm, though socially anxious in real life, this is the internet! A world where no one knows who you are behind the screen! So, even someone as socially anxious as [ ] can communicate normally in the online world.
Moreover, in the gaming world, where incompetence is a sin, it doesn't matter if Sora and Shiro are socially anxious and can't quickly bond with viewers like those familiar streamers. [ ]'s demonstrated skills are the best entertainment!
In simple terms, it's a satisfying story come to life!
So, after glancing at her brother, who was being praised as Kogoro Mouri in the chat, and seeing the conversation derailing from initial compliments to suggestions of having kids with [ ], and noticing her brother seemed to believe these comments and wanted to exchange contacts, Shiro, feeling it was her duty to protect her brother's chastity, acted swiftly.
While banning those comments, she reminded Sora, "Brother, the contract."
"...Yes, yes, I understand."
"My dear sister, how could your brother forget such an important matter?"
With a pained expression, watching his happy life drift further away, Sora angrily searched for the work Pucci had mentioned, "Anyway, that jerk Pucci only signed a contract with us asking for help to promote his work."
"He didn't specify how we should promote it."
"We've received the deposit; watch me leave a big negative review..."
Though venting his anger on Pucci was just taking it out on someone else, would he vent on his dear sister instead? Anyone who would vent on their cute sister is not human!
Worst case, they could return the deposit to Pucci.
Despite being mesmerized by "female fans," Sora quickly snapped out of it partly because he was curious. What kind of story did Pucci boastfully recruit them to help with?
Out of curiosity, Sora agreed to help Pucci with the promotion. After all, he was one of those invited by Pucci to be an actor. But after considering the necessity of going out for filming and the social obligations that would come with fame, he painfully gave up on becoming a big star and fulfilling his dream of a harem.
Too painful!
So, amidst all the fuss, Sora finally found "Phantom Blood" on the website Pucci provided.
"One prisoner stares at the wall, the other at the stars beyond the bars. Two slaves of fate gaze out through the iron bars. One looks up at the golden stars, the other at the dark mud."
"...Hmm, is this sentence adapted from Frederick Langbridge's 'A Cluster of Quiet'?''
Seeing this profound description under "Phantom Blood," Sora immediately recognized its origin.
Joking aside, as an invincible player across all game genres, they stored countless study materials and encyclopedias on their computers and mobile devices, often reviewing them. This way, they could play any game seamlessly.
"Considering this, it should be an art film."
"What to do, I feel uninterested already..."
Although he thought this, Sora still connected their full-dive device to the streaming equipment and brought all the viewers into this constructed script world in a multi-viewer mode.
...
Everything originated from that heavy rain in England in 1868 and the ensuing carriage accident.
Of course, to delve deeper, one would have to trace back to ancient times, starting from the birth of the Stone Mask and its legend.
But here, because Pucci filmed according to the anime storyline instead of the manga, the tale of the Stone Mask and the mysterious rise and fall of the ancient tribe was not narrated upfront, unlike in the manga.
Instead, like the anime, it portrayed the growth and personality of the two protagonists, Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando, through interwoven perspectives.
"So the two slaves of fate mentioned in the description are them. But..."
Why does it feel like just seeing the beginning gives away how the story will end?
It's nothing more than the usual themes: a poor boy surpassing a rich kid, or turning into a modern love story with a domineering CEO falling in love with me, then forming a love triangle with the poor boy.
Sora directly commented, "If it's really filmed like this, aside from some odd action scenes, the rest would be utterly unoriginal and mundane..."
"!!!"
"Your first kiss wasn't with JoJo! It was with me, Dio!!"
"Eh?... Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh!!?"
